Is sulfuric acid an inorganic compound?
YES!!! REason ; It does NOT contain any carbon. Sometimes it can be referred to as a minedral acid. Other inorganic acids are Hydrochloric acid Nitric Acid Phophoric Acid . This list is NOT exhaustive. There are many more mineral acids. However, There are the carboxylic acids, archaically (fatty acids). These are organic because they contain carbon. Methanoic (formic) acid (HCOOH) Ethanoic (Acetic) acid (CH3COOH) Ethane-di-oic (Oxalic) acid (HOOC-COOH) Pentanoic (Valeric) acid (CH3CH2CH2CH2COOH) Again the list is not exhaustive . There are many more carboxylic acids.
How do you differentiate experimentally between alcohol and carboxylic acid?
Alcohols are soluble in water (the longer the carbon chain the less soluble it will be) Carboxylic acids are insoluble in water. Hope this helps
How many carboxylic acid groups does aspartate contain?
Aspartate contains one carboxylic acid group. This group is located on the side chain of the amino acid, specifically on the beta carbon.
Why is humic acid insoluble in acids?
Humic acid is insoluble in acids because it contains many organic compounds with complex molecular structures. These structures make it difficult for acids to break down and dissolve humic acid molecules. Additionally, humic acid is generally resistant to acid hydrolysis due to its high aromatic content and the presence of functional groups like carboxylic acids that can form strong bonds.
Structural formula of citric acid?
The formula is C6H8O7citric-acidCitric acid's (C6H8O7) 'proper' name is 3-carboxyl-3-hydroxypentanedioc acid. This tells us that there is a carboxylic group at each end of chain of five carbon atoms. It also tells us that on the third carbon atom there is a hydroxyl group and another carboxylic group.I'm not sure for certain, but I'm pretty sure the structural formula for this is:COOHCH2COH(COOH)CH2COOH
Are glycine and carboxylic acid th same?
No, glycine is one of many different carboxylic acids. Carboxylic acids come in a wide variety ranging from formic acid to amino acids (which include glycine) and fatty acids.
Where does carboxylic acid come from in nature?
Different carboxylic acids are found in different places. Here are a few examples. The simplest of them, formic acid, is a component of the venom of many ants and other insects. Caproic, caprylic, and capric acids are in the skin secretions of goats. Lactic acid can be found found in sour milk, sore muscles, and the human mouth.
How are hydrocarbon fatty acids classified depending upon their nature?
Fatty acids are NOT hydrocarbons. Fatty acids are carboxylic acids containing the functional group -COOH. Hydrocarbons contain only carbon and hydrogen. It is absolutely crucial in all branches of chemistry to know exactly what the words mean and to use them precisely. Carboxylic acids have the general formula RCOOH, where the R is nearly always made of carbon and hydrogen. There are several ways to classify them, but the one met most frequently looks at the saturation of the R- group. If there are no double bonds it is saturated, one double bond makes it mono-unsaturated, and many double bonds make it polyunsaturated.
What are some carboxylic acids you encounter in daily life?
Carboxylic acids have the -COOH group, where the carbon is doublebonded to one oxygen and has a single bond to the other; the second oxygen is bonded to a hydrgen atom. This group is common in many natural places such as acetic acid and lactic acid. They are organic acids and do not ionize well in water, hence they are weak acids and weak electrolytes. Some examples are CH3COOH and CH3CH(OH)COOH.
What class of molecules contain the carbonyl group CO?
Molecules containing a carbonyl group (CO) are known as carbonyl compounds. These compounds can be further classified into aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, esters, and amides based on their specific structure and functional groups.
How many Fatty acids molecules does cholesteral contain?
Well cholesterol itself is only 1 molecule, it can't *really* contain any other molecules. It does, however have some structural similarities with fatty acids such as the nice long hydrophobic tail. It has an OH group also, so it's possible that it shares some metabolic routes and functions with fatty acids or is derived from them (we can reduce a carboxylic acid - found in fatty acids - to an alcohol group - OH). We probably need a molecular biologist to confirm that, though :).
Which group of organic compounds includes fatty acids?
Fatty acids belong to the group of organic compounds known as lipids. Lipids are characterized by their hydrophobic nature and include not only fatty acids but also triglycerides, phospholipids, and steroids. Fatty acids themselves are carboxylic acids with long hydrocarbon chains and serve as key building blocks for many lipids, playing essential roles in energy storage and cell membrane structure.

What was carboxylic acid used for?
Rather than there being a substance called carboxylic acid, scientists call the-COOH group that occours frequently in many different compounds the carboxylic acid functional group.

Is iron an amino acid?
No, iron is a mineral and not an amino acid. Iron is essential for many biological processes in the body, such as oxygen transport and energy production. Amino acids, on the other hand, are the building blocks of proteins.
Does urea contain protein?
The molecular formula of the urea is NH2-CO-NH2. The proteins are long chain of many amino acids. Urea is formed out of metabolism ( break down) of the amino acids.
